Tender description
East Ayrshire Council owns and operates 2 household waste recycling centres. One at Western Road, Kilmarnock and one at Garlaff, Cumnock. Both recycling centres offer many disposal and recycling options for our residents within East Ayrshire. We are continually looking for new and innovative ways to capture and recycling further items. We have recently seen a demand for recycling paint tins. The paint tins would still have wet paint within. We have seen an increase in requests for residents wishing to deposit paint tins that still have 50% + paint still within the tin that is usable. We wish to find a suitable disposal route for these paint tins where the paint within can be re-used and empty paint tins recycled. As part of the market research we are looking for innovative solutions to safely dispose and recycle paint tins, and paint tins that still have usable paint within them.
